[This version of timidity has been stripped for simplicity in porting to SDL, and then even further for SDL_sound] ---------------------------------*-text-*--------------------------------- From http://www.cgs.fi/~tt/discontinued.html : If you'd like to continue hacking on TiMidity, feel free. I'm hereby extending the TiMidity license agreement: you can now select the most convenient license for your needs from (1) the GNU GPL, (2) the GNU LGPL, or (3) the Perl Artistic License. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the README file for TiMidity v0.2i TiMidity is a MIDI to WAVE converter that uses Gravis Ultrasound(*)-compatible patch files to generate digital audio data from General MIDI files. The audio data can be played through any sound device or stored on disk. On a fast machine, music can be played in real time. TiMidity runs under Linux, FreeBSD, HP-UX, SunOS, and Win32, and porting to other systems with gcc should be easy. TiMidity Features: * 32 or more dynamically allocated fully independent voices * Compatibility with GUS patch files * Output to 16- or 8-bit PCM or uLaw audio device, file, or stdout at any sampling rate * Optional interactive mode with real-time status display under ncurses and SLang terminal control libraries. Also a user friendly motif interface since version 0.2h * Support for transparent loading of compressed MIDI files and patch files * Support for the following MIDI events: - Program change - Key pressure - Channel main volume - Tempo - Panning - Damper pedal (Sustain) - Pitch wheel - Pitch wheel sensitivity - Change drum set * The GNU General Public License can, as always, be found in the file "../COPYING". * TiMidity requires sampled instruments (patches) to play MIDI files. You should get the file "timidity-lib-0.1.tar.gz" and unpack it in the same directory where you unpacked the source code archive. You'll want more patches later -- read the file "FAQ" for pointers. * Timidity is no longer supported, but can be found by searching the web.
